4 year old behaviour awful since starting reception

4 year old DD started school in September and since then has been hitting at school and dance class. Has constant meltdowns at home for no reason and has started wetting the bed. DD was in full time nursery before starting school. Have asked DD what's wrong but there doesn't seem to be any reason for her behaviour. This is causing a lot of stress and an unhappy atmosphere in the home. Any advise would be appreciated.

I would wonder if school is too pressured/formal. My DS who is in year 1 is going through a lot of stress because school is too formal (he is able to tell me about it). Sorry you are going through this.

We had the same last year with summer born DS (not hitting and actually perfect behaviour at school but horrible melt downs after)

I'm sorry to say that it continued from October to March! and this year has had it's moments too.

I think exhaustion is a big thing, so trying to get enough sleep, having good meals to ensure blood sugars don't drop...and quite quiet evenings.
